I mean, if you can’t be optimistic about a guy recruiting at a significantly higher level than this program has EVER seen then that seems like more of a you problem.
It’s really not hard to do. Look at the recruiting rankings then also look at the current talent rankings (only above Vandy) and that should make you feel better. A significant increase in the quality of players suiting up for Mizzou will lead to more wins. Do you disagree?
Or, you know, again. What’s the alternative? Fire Drink and hire a guy who has a 99.9% chance of not being able to recruit at near the same level? Gut this class and start the rebuild all over? Seems like a pretty easy decision to stick it out with the recruiter for awhile, no?

Don't mistake short-term apathy for throwing up one's hands. Unless he's caught being lewd with a chicken, Drink should be given plenty of time to turn it around.
I do have hope for his recruiting, but also fear some decommits due to our recent showings.
We're on the same team here, but maybe I see the road ahead as being more rocky than you do.

I don’t think anyone is calling for Drink’s head here. At least I’m not. And I have been excited about his recruiting success. The situation he finds himself in is not mostly his fault. The cupboard was bare when he took over.
Maybe he holds those kids he recruited and things will improve, but the way kids decommit these days who knows. I can’t remember ever following the Tigers where each Saturday I knew we’d have no chance to win or no chance to upset (well other than the 90’s) and that is what’s scaring me.
Solutions? I got nothing. Just have to ride it out. Doesn’t mean I have to feel good about it though.
